(Repost) This is a Bragg-Straton mower, 5 years old. Last year it had similar problem, I sent it repaired and a new plug was put in. Now when priming the bulb a few times, it would sput and start and then die in a few seconds . Now spring is coming, now each time I prime the bulb, pull the choke cable, then pull the start cable, it would sput and work a bit, then in seconds it dies, I have to repeat this process many times (~15 times), then it will finally start normally, then I can operate as normal. Last year I sent to repair shop, they just replaced the spark plug. So what is wrong, how to fix? Thank you all in advance.
Verbal71, even I have rated you, the problem is not resolved, though Yahoo rated this as resolved. Please tell me what is wd-40.
StuartH, old gas is not an issue, a few weeks ago, I had the same problem, the old gas was replaced that time, yesterday I was repeating this problem and I added new gas.
BobB, now I sense that your reply might be the closet to the problem. Sorry I can’t re-rate on Yahoo, tha is why I am reposting. Please give a little more detail about the carburetor, how it look like and where is it and how to clean it. Thank you very much.
Thank you all of those replied.
